change in circumstances

Read a random definition: liberty of the globe

A quick definition of change in circumstances:

A change in circumstances is when something important in a family's life changes, like when a parent loses their job or gets sick. This can be used in family court to ask for changes to custody or support orders. A modification order is a new court order that changes things like child support or visitation. To get a modification order, the person asking for the change has to show that something important has changed since the last court order was made.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A change in the physical, emotional, or financial condition of one or both parents that can be used to modify a custody or support order. This change is often involuntary and can include events such as job loss, illness, or relocation.

Example: If a parent loses their job and is unable to pay the full amount of child support, they can request a modification order to reduce the payments. The court will consider the change in circumstances and may adjust the support order accordingly.

Explanation: A change in circumstances is a significant event that can impact a family's financial and emotional well-being. In family law, it is used to show the need for a modification order, which can change the terms of child support, custody, visitation, or alimony. The party seeking the modification must demonstrate that there has been a material change in circumstances since the original order was issued. This can include events such as job loss, illness, or relocation. The court will consider the evidence presented and make a decision based on what is in the best interests of the child or children involved.

U have great stats! I wouldn't be too nervous. Did u write why Northwestern and why Chicago?

16:22
having a masters degree is probably a positive, it shows you can do grad level coursework and probably generated a strong rec letter
@RightPlant: you have a great chance at Northwestern!
Chicago, also not a bad chance, but it is more of a crapshoot
Esp since they care more about GPA than LSAT

@jackfrost11770: Man, I watched a video summarizing the stuff I missed in Arcane. You know, all the boring mel and ambessa stuff and that shit is actually incredibly important to the lore. That stuff is all LeBlanc shit and LeBlanc is like one of the most powerful characters in league.
